Summary:Embodiments of a car seat include an outer protective shell, an inner seat, a suspension system connecting and permitting relative movement between the inner seat and the outer protective shell for shock isolation, and a harness adapted to hold an occupant to the inner seat and not attached to the outer protective shell. In an accident, regardless of the direction in which the seat is facing and regardless of whether the result is a sudden acceleration and/or deceleration, the inner seat will move inside the frame, and the suspension system will absorb some, much, or all of the energy. Energy not absorbed by the suspension system may be absorbed by the inner seat itself and/or an anchor system used to connect the car seat to a vehicle. The frame of the seat will remain structurally intact in almost all circumstances thereby protecting the occupant of the car seat.
